CLASSES
TEMPORAL WARLOCK
“This thing all things devour. Birds, beasts, trees,
flowers. Gnaws iron, bites steel. Grinds hard stones to
meal. Slays kings, ruins town, and beats high mountain
down.”
—Gollum, a possible Temporal Warlock
The temporal warlocks are a secretive group of
specialist warlocks who have mastered time as a
weapon and a tool. By tapping into this power,
these characters learn to infuse their eldritch blasts
and magic items that they wield with temporal
energy, protecting them from its bite while
forcing others to suffer the effects of aging at an
accelerated rate. By replacing their previously
evil energies with that of the Vortex, they hope to
separate themselves somewhat from the infernal
and abyssal lords they’d previously been beholden
to. It is unfortunate for them that the Vortex is
almost as cruel as the demons and devils.
BECOMING A TEMPORAL WARLOCK
Prospective temporal warlocks must fulfill strict
requirements to gain entry to the class, making this
prestige class exclusive to warlocks. While most
characters who pursue the temporal warlock class
are otherwise single-class warlocks, multiclass
warlocks with wizard levels are also common.
Multiclass warlock/rogues, warlock/clerics, or
even warlock/fighters are also possible, but entry
into the prestige class is restricted until higher
levels.

CLASS FEATURES
The temporal warlock class offers great power
at the expense of versatility. This prestige class
presents a focused approach to tap the power of
the Vortex, though often at a grave price. As they
advance, these warlocks can access greater uses of
the Vortex, including the ability to infuse magic
items with the power of the Vortex and lash out
with a temporal surge against any foe that strikes
them.
Temporal Blast (Sp): Whenever you use your
eldritch blast ability, you can change your eldritch
blast into a temporal blast. A temporal blast deals
your normal eldritch blast damage plus an extra 2d6
points of damage per class level. If your blast hits
multiple targets (for example, the eldritch chain or
eldritch cone blast shape invocations), each target
takes the extra damage. This damage bypasses
most damage reduction because it uses energy
from the Vortex, which few creatures can resist.
Each time you use this ability, you take 1 point of
Wisdom damage. Because the forces behind the
power of temporal energy are controlled by your
will, if you do not have a Wisdom score or are
somehow immune to Wisdom damage, you cannot
use this ability.
Invoking: At each level, you gain new invocations

Resources
Temporal warlocks lack any formal community,
since they are often loners by nature, sequestering
themselves away to further study and refine their
techniques. Renegade Time Lords and other
meddlers may target you and your colleagues with
promises of assistance, magic, and even combat
support. Their motives are clear, but they offer
great
power and often compelling
reasons to join them.

TEMPORTAL
WARLOCKS
IN THE WORLD
“When the Vortex was first
detected, many spoke, saying
that the Vortex itself should fuel
time travel. In their wisdom,
the founders knew this should
not be. There was more to the
Vortex than the people knew and
to travel through it required the
traveler to be independent, lest
that traveler experience all of
time and space simultaneously.
Thus was the use of Vortex
energy proscribed and shields
placed around all capsules.
Praise the will of Rassilon.”
— Time’s misdirection The
manual of the first Time
Lords
Most temporal warlocks
whom the PCs encounter have likely already
succumbed to the temptations of evil. Usually they
use their powers to further their own ends through
the use of their ability to nail themselves to
causality and change the timeline to fit their ideal
of how the cosmos ought to be. Only in the rarest
circumstances does a temporal warlock resist these
temptations and use her power to advance the
cause of keeping the timeline from being altered.
Organization
Since temporal warlocks are nearly universally
feared, these characters keep to themselves.
Their isolation pushes them to test the limits of
their morality, and in time, most succumb to
the darkness blooming within them. Temporal
warlocks are jealous and petty, and prone to
fits of judgment of those who are not capable of
seeing time unfold as they can. They see others
who practice their dark art as threats to their
prominence and power, so these characters are
swift to destroy their rivals.
Some temporal warlocks create infernal cults,
believing that through the use of timelocked
servants, they can increase their knowledge and
skill.
Temporal warlocks act as guardians and enforcers
as well as commanders in such organizations,
valued for their combat
capabilities and their ability
to change the outcomes
of battles without locking
themselves into a paradox.
NPC Reactions
Even those temporal
warlocks who shy away
from evil in the face of such
wickedness meet
scorn and derision in the
world. Warlocks are
generally not trusted, and
those who willingly
use the tools of chaos for any
reason are tantamount to
the fiends themselves in the
minds of most folk. Hence,
most temporal warlocks
conceal their natures, using
their Vortex powers only
when forced.
So long as a temporal
warlock maintains her
anonymity, she fi nds
others are indifferent. Those
who become aware of her
capabilities immediately
become unfriendly, seeing
her as a menace. This
animosity extends even to evil creatures, which
are often unsure what to make of such a curious
character—or see her as a rival to be destroyed.
TEMPORAL WARLOCK LORE
Characters with ranks in Knowledge (the planes)
or Knowledge(temporal science) can research
temporal warlocks to learn more about them.
When a character succeeds on a skill check,
the following lore is revealed, including the
information from lower DCs.
DC 10: Temporal warlocks use the energies of the
Vortex to power their abilities.
9
 DC 15: The Vortex is a cruel mistress, weakening
those who court her.
DC 20: Though use of time travel to change history
is itselfs anathema to good, not all who wield it
are evil. Some manage to temper the corrupting
effects with a strong will and steadfast resolve. The
mightiest among them even bend the Vortex to
serve the forces of good.
Temporal warlocks are reclusive. They refrain
from revealing themselves to the public, lurking
at the fringes of society or behind a screen of
deception and misdirection and only emerging
when circumstances demand it. Player characters
trying to locate a temporal warlock need to succeed
on a DC 25 Gather Information check. If a PC looks
for a temporal warlock in a community whose
alignment is predominantly chaotic, he gains a +2
circumstance
bonus on the check.
TEMPORAL WARLOCKS
IN THE GAME
A temporal warlock is not a natural extension
of the warlock class. It requires an independent
personality and a willingness to risk great harm in
order to gain that independence.
Temporal warlocks are particularly attractive to
players who enjoy playing antiheroes.
This prestige class grants access
to otherwise forbidden abilities. This class is also
specifically intended for the warlock class, enabling
you to expand this potent class in new directions.

life from the greedy or desperate and the hate
and scorn of the clerics of orderly deities. Though
usually well known to one another, temporal magi
are cautioned not to allow their abilities to become

Suppress Paradox: A timebender’s relationship
with time is such that only the most far-reaching of
paradoxes can personally affect them unless they
choose to be affected. As such, any paradox that
would otherwise affect the timebender may still do
so, but only with the timebender’s permission.
Mind Clock: Once a timebender is firmly situated
in a specific milieu, they always know perfectly
well what time it is.
Insightful attack: At 2nd level, the timebender may
ignore any miss chance against a concealed target
as long as they know the target is in the vicinity.
Bent time: At 2nd level, the timebender begins to
project an aura of stressed time which causes 1d4
electrical damage to all nearby(5 ft. shell) creatures
once per round. This effect cannot be dispelled but
it can be negated with a Reflex save(DC 10). At 7th
level, this stress begins to wear away at the space
around the timebender, causing her to be further
away from everything and all things to be further
from her. This imposes a -4 to attack for any attack
on the timebender and a -2 for the timebender
herself.
Toughened: At 4th level, time within the
timebender becomes malleable and the timebender
may isolate sections of her body and slow them
down. This grants the timebender a +2 to Fortitude
against poison and +3 hit points. This increases to
a +4 and +6 respectively at 7th level.
Slow motion: At 5th level, the timebender is able
to slow time around herself at a critical moment,
granting her a +2 bonus to attack rolls, Reflex
saves and all dexterity-based skills for 1d4 rounds.
Others are aware of the slowed time but cannot
take advantage of it. This ability may be used a
number of times per day equal to the timebender’s
wisdom modifier.
Stillness: At 5th level, the timebender gains the
ability to sit perfectly still in one place and allow
time to pass without being affected by it. To a
bystander, she appears as a statue, showing no
sign of life. However, the timebender must be
careful not to allow her mind to wander, as she is
vulnerable to an attack while in this state, and will
die if enough damage is done. She will, however,
survive as long as she remains still.
Greater Celerity: At 6th level, a timebender gains
haste, greater as a permanent trait.
Heart of Paradox: At 6th level, a timebender’s
immunity to paradox grows, allowing them to
extend this ability to their allies and friends. Also,
they gain +5 permanent hit points every time
someone attempts to use a paradox against them.
Paradoxers think they can become stronger by
paradox, timebenders know.
Corrupting Touch: At 8th level, the timebender
becomes a focus for temporal eddies. Once every
1d4 days, something touched by the timebender
will either age into dust or revert to a previous
state.
Timeless body: At 9th level, the timebender ceases
to age, cannot be aged magically, and does not die
of old age.
Suppress time: At 10th level, the timebender can
anchor themselves to a specific moment, effectively
casting Time Stop as 17th level sorcerer. This ability
lasts 1d4+1 rounds and may be used a number
of times per day equal to her half her wisdom

 TIMEBENDERS IN THE WORLD
“Though Time is inviolable, there will be some who will
say that it is something that can be shaped, like water
in a river. There is truth to this, just as there is an
ultimate falsity. None may stave off the ravages of time
forever, and any who believe that they are the ultimate
masters of time do not fully understand the scope and
the majesty of that which they claim dominion over.
Even almighty Rassilon must pay his own price for
immortality, just as those who seek it from him must
pay, and those who seek elsewhere. True understanding
of time imparts the ability to affect it even without our
tools and technology, but an even deeper level of mastery
imparts the wisdom of why this power should not be
sought.”
— Time’s misdirection The manual of the first Time
Lords

Most timebenders encountered in the multiverse

are monks or other spirituals who have tried to
achieve a union of their soul with time, and found
that there was nothing to join with. They are often
religious, but also keenly skeptical, since one of
the basic tenets of existence has been disproved in
their eyes. Most will not use their powers lightly,
and are quite apologetic when an ability that is out
of their control causes trouble. It is a burden they
accept along with knowledge that a mind opened
cannot be shut and that though they can turn from
the path of the timebender, they cannot forget what
they have already learned, and so can never be rid
of what it has given them.

Organization
Timebenders are almost never found in groups.
There are few entire orders of Deja-Fu monks, and
even fewer timebenders. Some may be found as
abbots and administrators in a Deja-Fu temple, but
they are the exception. Most are travelers, seeking
greater understanding through travel through the
medium they cannot quite be rid of.

NPC Reactions
NPCs rarely know what to make of timebenders,
even if they knew what a timebender was. Mainly
they tend to consider them a odder kind of monk
and leave them alone. Paradoxers avoid them like
the plague, as do any who value their temporal
stability. This is how the monks like it, as it
protects their quiet lifestyle.

pesky hills or rivers.

Borrowers can be drawn from any class that uses

Borrowers are apprentices of others who have
come before them and are attempting to bring back
the era of the Devourers. The discoverers are those
who found hints about where the Devourers got
their powers from and pieced together the method
by which destroying the clock can free the time it
measured.
Some Borrowers will go to great lengths to arouse
the ire of powerful dark magi in an attempt to
become Soul Eaters and Life drinkers in order
to gain the ability to steal the time from another
entity. Most are killed outright, but success is not
unheard of.

CLASS FEATURES
All of the following are class features of the
Borrower.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Borrowers gain
proficiency with light armor.
Taboo: Once a Borrower is firmly situated in a
specific milieu, they always know perfectly well
what time it is, and are compelled to arrive either
precisely when they should, whether they like it or
not.
Chronokinetic Blast: A chronokinetic blast is very
similar in appearance and use to an eldritch blast.
It is a ray 60 feet in length that increases in power
as
the Borrower
does.
However, the

on each
successful
hit. This has
effects on
the target that depend on their race and current
age. The effect is temporary, however, and fades
after 1d10 hours, thus explaining why it can only
generate minor charges.
Generate Charge: As previously noted, Borrowers
are a kind of Warlock, but without a patron.
Thus they must steal their power in order to cast
spells. They generate this temporal energy by
simultaneously destroying a clock (symbolizing
the measurement of time) and a section of their
life (symbolizing the effect of time). This ‘frees’ a
portion of time, which they store in their bodies as
a charge which is expended when spellcasting.
Generate Minor: To get a minor charge (without
blasting someone), the Borrower must destroy a
small timekeeping device(like a garden sundial).
This throws them into a trance which lasts one
hour.
Generate Moderate: A moderate charge is
generated by the destruction of a complex
timekeeper (like an ornamental or case clock). The
Borrower then ages one year.
Generate Major: Major charges are difficult at first
to come by. They are created when a time keeping
device that has been running for at least a century
is destroyed, simultaneously aging the Borrower
five years.
Decompose charge: Each charge can be broken
into ten smaller charges. Thus a moderate is worth
10 minor and a major is worth 100 minor. This
may only be used to break charges apart; smaller
charges may not be used to make larger ones.
Formulae: Borrower formulae are once again very
similar to Warlock invocations. In fact, in all but
one way they are totally identical. The Borrower
must give
something
of his own
to cast a
spell. This
comes in the
form of the
charges. A
minor charge
for a minor
formula,
moderate for
moderate
and major
for major.
Borrower
formulae are
correspondingly more powerful than Warlock
invocations because the Borrowers are giving
themselves power rather than begging it off of a
stronger being.
Minor Mark of the Devourer: At third level, the
Borrower begins to better comprehend the might
and majesty of the old Devourers. They have
become so used to generating minor charges that
they can no longer control the process. Small
clocks fall to pieces in their presence, and even
the largest pendulum pauses for a split second as
it breaks time into more manageable pieces. A
Borrower is now considered to have an infinite
number of minor charges.
Reverse the flow: Anything attempting to connect
to the Borrower’s life force in order to drain it must
19
 now succeed at an opposed Will save or come up
against the hunger of the budding Devourer the
Borrower is becoming. If the creature attempting
a life drain fails its Will save, the Borrower is then
allowed to drain its time, incurring it and gaining a
number of moderate charges equal to the creature’s
hit dice. If the Borrower has a draining power of
his own, he may initiate an attempt for the purpose
of using this power.
Moderate Mark of the Devourer: The Borrower
has gained a deep comprehension of what the
Devourers were and wants to be like them. Now
larger clocks begin to self-destruct when the
Borrower passes and clocks that have kept perfect
time for centuries slow and lose seconds as the
Borrower approaches. Moderate charges need no
longer be generated.
Major Mark of the Devourer: The Borrower is now
worthy of the title Devourer of Time. No clock, no
mechanism at all, can survive even the presence
of the Borrower. Even the Clockwork Nirvana
trembles at the touch of the Borrower’s boot.
Not that the Borrower would ever be allowed
anywhere near Mechanus now. Major charges
are no longer a problem to create, for even if the
Borrower is wandering the desert, the very sands
slow in their shifting, draining their time into the
Borrower.
BORROWERS IN THE WORLD
“It has never been conclusively proven that time is
a limited commodity. I challenge our detractors to
show evidence that we are doing anything wrong. We
are merely asserting our mastery of time. Is that so
wrong?”
— Larok Tinar, a Devourer of the Old Order
Borrowers are unwelcome as soon as time-active
residents are aware of their presence. This does
not mean that they are homeless. Most places in
the multiverse are time-inactive, and as long as
they restrict their practices to a small area, most
travelers are content to avoid them. Borrowers
are perhaps the only people who can unite the
three major time factions, and even bring the
Time Lords into a dispute. Any attempt at entry
into Mechanus is rebuked. They cannot travel
the Vortex, instead being forced to navigate
Temporal Prime, where their powers are rendered
inoperable.
Organization
Borrowers are singletons by nature, exchanging
notes on how to produce certain effects, but mainly
keeping to themselves. They only respect other
Borrowers, however, so seeing more than one
20
is more likely than seeing a Borrower with any
other kind of companion. On occasion groups will
congregate for a particular purpose, though these
are rare events.
NPC Reactions
How Borrowers are viewed by NPCs can best be
described by breaking them into the groups they
might interact with.
Laity: Most people see Borrowers as mere
nuisances who keep breaking clocks as they pass
by. They are, however, considered valuable
companions for clock makers, though only at a
distance. The maker will use the Borrower to check
if his clocks are accurate, and pay the Borrower
in timepieces. Most wizards find them harmless
because they figure the average Borrower will
run out of lifespan before they get enough power
to be dangerous. Those wizards are not aware
that a Borrower can, in fact, use charges to restore
lifespan as well as spend it making them.
Paradoxers: Tend to react violently to the presence
of a Borrower. They are constantly afraid that the
Borrower will learn how to consume a paradox,
and then the fun’s over. They also consider their
job an amusing way of sewing chaos while just
eating the continuum is considered bad sport.
Guild Members: Somewhat embarrassed at having
caused Borrowing in the first place, and so bar any
from learning more through access to the Library.
They continually try to excise all knowledge of it
from the common stacks, but always fail.
Guardians: Summary execution is their way of
dealing with Borrowers. The possibility that one
would get into Mechanus and take it apart for
charge is something they don’t like to think about.
They also make sure that Borrowers do not get into
the Plane of Time.
Time Lords: Imprison them when found, but
don’t actively hunt them, as they don’t actively do
anything.
The Vortex: The Vortex will not bear a Borrower
anywhere in time or space. The gates close when a
Borrower nears and will not open in a Borrower’s
presence. Any attempt at entry is rebuked. This
is because the Vortex fears Borrowers. The one
time an old Devourer got in, the Vortex was nearly
destroyed. It likes Genius Loci that it can control,
not ones that control it.

DRUID VARIANT:
GUARDIAN OF THE TIMELINE
“You can’t rewrite history. Not one line!”
—The Doctor
The guardian of the timeline channels her druidic
power to allow her to sense and eliminate those who
try to change the natural order of time. This comes
at a price, however, since the guardian must give up
some of her own sensitivity to biological nature in
order to sense the nature of time.
Class Skills: Add Knowledge(temporal science) to
the guardians’s list of class skills. Eliminate Handle
Animal from the guaridan’s list of class skills.
Class Features
The guardian of the timeline has all the standard
druid class features, except as noted below.
Animal Companion: A guardian does not gain the
service of an animal companion unless that
companion is capable of traveling through the Vortex
unharmed.
Timetouched: A guardian automatically gains the
timetouched feat for free at 1st level.
Time sensitivity: A guardian gains a +10 bonus
to knowledge(temporal science) when a paradox
occurs and senses them at a range of 100 miles/1000
years. At tenth level this spans the entire history of
the planet the guardian is on and at 20th it spans the
universe the guardian is in.
Epic bonus: At level 30, the guardian can sense the
universe of time.
Spontaneous Casting: A guardian cannot channel
stored
spell energy into summoning spells.
Vortex Walk: At 10th level and higher, a guardian no
longer takes damage when traveling in the Vortex
without protection.
Wild Empathy: A guardian of the timeline takes a –4
penalty on wild empathy checks.
MONK VARIANT:
DEJA FU FIGHTING STYLE
“You may think otherwise, but it was me standing
there.”
—A Deja Fu Monk
The deja fu monk concentrates on the shifting and
fluidic nature of time, becoming adept at shifting in
and out of time and accelerating her reactions and
attacks by slowing time around her. This comes at a
price of being forced into a rigid pattern of skill gains.
Class Skills: Add Knowledge(temporal science)
to the monk’s list of class skills. Eliminate
Knowledge(arcana) and Knowledge(religion) from
the monk’s list of class skills.
Class Features
The déjà fu monk of the timeline has all the standard
druid class features, except as noted below.
Bonus feats: A deja fu monk must take timetouched as
her 1st level feat, temporal strike at 2nd , Alacrity at 6th
and Celerity at 8th.
Deja Fu: A deja fu monk learns how to dodge and
strike using time as a weapon, gaining a chance
to strike an opponent each turn as if flat footed.
The monk makes a knowledge(temporal science)

 check against their opponent with a DC of 10 + the
opponent’s reflex save. In addition, the amount
of attacks the monk’s flurry of blows ability gives
doubles.
When being attacked , the monk may make add her
class level to her AC as a temporal dodge modifier.
At level 15, the monk gains phasing as a free action 2/
day which increases by +1 every level after as long as
the monk has at least her level in skill points invested
in knowledge(temporal science).
Temporal Immunity: At 6th level, the Deja Fu monk
becomes immune to all temporal effects and spells
including other Monks’ temporal attacks, paradoxes
and Vortex energy.

Benefit: You double all your movement rates,
including those gained by magical means(ex. a fly
spell). This effect can be disrupted by an attack
and you must make a Concentration check(DC
5+damge/10) to decide whether you maintain it.

CELERITY
Once a manipulator begins timebending, they
rarely stop at just moving faster. They soon realize
that they can focus time in order to cram more
subjective time into others’ objective time.
Prerequisites: Alacrity and either Haste or Deja

Benefit: You gain the effects of haste at all
times. This effect can be disrupted by an attack
and you must make a Concentration check(DC
10+damge/5) to decide whether you maintain it.

ORACLE
Seeing into the future is something almost all
manipulators do in one way or another. Most
simply travel to whenever they need to be to do
it, but some have extended their senses through
the Vortex in order to sit in one place to do their
searching. The past and future are theirs to see,
though they often do not know what is actually
occurring beyond what little they can make out.
Prerequisites: Timetouched, ability to cast 7th
level divination spells
Benefit: The manipulator may once per day
concentrate on a point in spacetime and attempt
to see and hear it (DC 10 Temporal Science). If
successful, they are able to experience a few
moments of time as if they were standing there.
They must make a Concentration check to continue
viewing for any significant length of time(DC 5 for
the first minute, +1 for each second beyond that).

TIMESIGHTED
Oracles often find themselves catching flashes of
the future even when they aren’t trying. These
glimpses are almost always of the very near future,
and are quite useful in avoiding unfortunate
problems.

NEW SPELLS
TEMPORAL MAGE SPELLS
Due to the nature of temporal spells, use is
inherently dangerous. The energy that powers
most of them, the Vortex, is unpredictable and
likely to damage the wielder of such magics. When
casting a damaging spell, there is a 20% change of
the caster taking half damage from the spell, and
otherwise a 10% chance of the caster taking 1d4/
spell level of damage.

You cast this spell on any weapon not from the
current time(such as a sword from an old empire
or a blade made of stainless steel).
The next time that weapon is used to make a melee
attack, a Vortex gate opens in front of it and it
strikes the wielder in the back.
The wielder gets no warning or knowledge of
the spell’s effect on his weapon, and though he
makes the attack, the self-dealt damage can’t be
consciously reduced (though damage reduction
applies) or changed to nonlethal damage. Once the
weapon attacks its wielder (whether successfully or
not), the spell is discharged.
Magic weapons targeted by this spell receive a Will

is higher.

addition, you gain the ability to make one natural
slam attack as a standard action, dealing 1d6 points
of damage plus your new Strength bonus (or 1-1/2

attacks
that round). You can make the slam attack as
a natural secondary attack with the normal –5
penalty (or –2 penalty if you have the Multiattack
feat; see page 304 of the Monster Manual) as part of
a full attack action.

The subject of the spell is surrounded with an
invisible aura that anticipates and delays the
materialization from another time of any creature
into the spell’s area. Any spell or effect (including
All temporal spells with the teleportation
descriptor) can be anticipated, making the spell’s
recipient instantly aware of the exact location
where the creature will arrive (subject to the
restrictions below), the creature’s size, and how
many other creatures
(and their sizes) are arriving with the materializing
creature. The spell also delays the arrival of
the creature by 1 round (so that it arrives on its
initiative count immediately before its next turn),
generally giving the recipient of the spell and
anyone else made aware of the information 1
round to act or ready actions. The shifting creature
does not perceive
this delay.
Since a timeshifting creature doesn’t necessarily
arrive at the precise location it intends, the spell
also functions against a creature that arrives
in range even though its intended destination
was elsewhere. For a creature that intends to
materialize into range but inadvertently arrives
outside the spell’s area, the spell gives the recipient
awareness that a creature has attempted to
materialize into range and delays the creature as
normal, but doesn’t give any awareness as to the
actual location of its imminent arrival.
The spell has no effect on creatures attempting to
timeshift away from the spell’s area, though if their
destination is within the area, the spell will affect
their reentry as normal.

A blazing ball of Vortex energy is hurled toward
the point you designate, erupting into a brilliant
hovering sphere. All sighted creatures in the area
are dazzled (no save), and the radiation from
the rassilonian radiance deals 2d6 points of Vortex
damage to all creatures and objects in the area each
round on your turn (Fortitude save for half). Like
fireball, rassilonian radiance erupts if it strikes any
material
body or solid barrier before attaining the
prescribed range, and you must make a successful
ranged touch attack to send the sphere through a

Effect: 2-ft.-radius sphere
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: Reflex partial; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
A cloudy gray sphere of stressed spacetime flies to
attack your enemies and hurl them through space.
As
a move action, you can make the sphere travel
up to 10 feet per round and strike the creature or
object you indicate as a ranged touch attack.
Any creature struck by the sphere takes 3d6 points
of
damage from the force of being thrown through
the wormhole generated. In addition, Medium or
40
smaller creatures must succeed on a Reflex save or
be sucked in.
Creatures that are sucked in are teleported 1d8×10
feet in a random direction and taking falling
damage if applicable (for each d8 rolled, roll
another d6 to decide whether that direction is up,
down, forward, backward, left or right).
If some obstacle prevents the target creature from
reaching its expelled distance, it takes 1d6 points
of damage for every 10 feet of movement it was
unable to complete, so that a creature hurled 50
feet up in a room with a 20- foot ceiling would
take 3d6 points of damage from the impact, then
take 2d6 points of damage when it falls back to the
ground. This means that the transdimensional sphere
cannot teleport a creature into a solid object.
The sphere can affect a maximum of one creature
or object per round, and winks out if it exceeds the
spell’s range.
Focus: A gray pearl worth at least 100 gp.

This spell makes your temporal familiar tougher,
granting it 2d8 temporary hit points and a +2

deal normal damage if successful). Temporary hit
points gained in this fashion last for up to 1 hour.

Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
When cast, this spell connects a section of the
normal cosmos with its corresponding location in
Temporal Prime. The gate appears as a flat disc
up to twenty feet wide and may be entered from
any direction. It lasts as long as the caster wishes,
becomes permanent if the caster dies and can
be traversed in either direction by anything that
touches it. Denizens of Temporal Prime are often
attracted to these gates, and care must be exercised
if leaving one open for long periods of time.
Material component: A clear diamond worth at
least 5000 gp.
Stable Paradox
Transmutation (Chrono)
Level: Chrono/TM 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Duration: 1 rnd/lvl or until discharged
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
When cast, this spell allows the caster to bypass a
paradox check when attempting to craft a paradox
with a DC equal to their level + wisdom bonus.
This bypass may be used once within the duration
of the spell.
Temporal Tether
Divination (Chrono)
Level: Chrono/TM 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent or until dismissed
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell allows the caster to tether their timeline
to another for as long as they wish, allowing them
to locate the target with absolute precision on or off
of Temporal Prime. If the target tries to timeshift
within 100 feet of the caster, the caster may choose
to use this connection to follow the target even if
they cannot timeshift themselves. If the target is
temporally incurred, there is a 20% chance that the
incursion will travel up the tether and strike the
caster as well.
Time snare
Transmutation (Chrono)
Level: Chrono/TM 4
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: Ray
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: Will negates(see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes
The caster must succeed at a ranged touch attack to
hit with this spell.
The target of this spell is forced into an eight-
second time loop while the rest of reality continues
without it. It attempts to take its most recent action
again each round, even if this is impossible(a
potion bottle being empty or a comrade being
defended being dead). Every round it gains a
cumulative +1 bonus to its save against this spell
until it breaks free or is killed.
Conceal Temporal Anomaly
Transmutation (Chrono)
Level: Chrono/TM 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
When this spell is cast, the caster chooses a
single area or effect that she is either about to
or has already taken that might be detected as a
temporal effect and obscures it, giving it a +10 to a
Knowledge(Temporal Science) DC and making it
invisible to detect temporal anomaly. This may also
be used to disguise the caster’s own identity as a
traveler.
Recur
Divination (Chrono)
Level: Chrono/TM 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: No
Recur allows a targeted creature to relive in
memory either the best or worst thing that ever
happened to it. The caster decides, or allows to
creature to. If it is the best, then the creature gains
a +2 morale bonus to all rolls, but is distracted. If it
is the worst, the creature takes a -2 to all rolls and
1d6 points of subdual damage for every source of
pain involved.
Material component: A rose with no petals that
blooms and then falls to dust as the spell is cast.

Wall of Phase Variance
Evocation [Chrono]
Level: Chrono/TM 5
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: Wall whose area is up to one 10-ft. square/
level
Duration: 1 round /level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
A wall of phase variance spell creates a dull grey
wall of non-spacetime. The wall cannot move,
it is immune to damage of all kinds, and it is
unaffected by most spells, including dispel magic.
However, slipgate immediately destroys it, as does
a rod of cancellation, a sphere of annihilation, or a
Mordenkainen’s disjunction spell.
Breath weapons and spells cannot pass through the
wall in either direction, although dimension door,
teleport, and similar effects can bypass the barrier.
It blocks ethereal creatures as well as material ones
(though ethereal creatures can usually get around
the wall by floating under or over it through
material floors and ceilings).
The caster can form the wall into a flat, vertical
plane whose area is up to one 10- foot square
per level. The wall must be continuous and
unbroken when formed. If the wall of phase variance
encounters an obstacle when forming, it bisects
it, passing straight through without doing any
seeming harm, though this immobilizes anything
that would otherwise be capable of movement.
Wall of phase variance can be made permanent with
a permanency spell.
Material Component: A pinch of powder
made from a fragment of either the equipment or
flesh of a Temporal Stalker.

Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 60 ft.
Area: 60-ft.-radius emanation, centered

Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
This spell allows you to drive off creatures not
from the current era. When you cast the spell, any
traveler within the spell’s area must leave the area
unless it makes a successful Will save. If you try to
force the barrier against a traveler that has failed
its saving throw, the traveler is driven backward at
a rate of 5 feet/round. Once in place, this barrier
will not allow a traveler who fails their throw to
pass.
Material Component: A small quantity of the ether of
Temporal Prime.
Arc of the Vortex
Conjuration (Creation) [Vortex]
Level: Chrono/TM 5
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area: A line between two creatures
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: No
You create natural temporal conduit between two
creatures, and a bolt of Vortex energy arcs between
them. This bolt deals 1d6 points of Vortex damage
per caster level (maximum 15d6) to both creatures
and to anything in the line between them.
Both creatures must be in range, and you must
be able to target them (as if this spell had them as
its targets). Draw the line from any corner in one
creature’s space to any corner in the other’s space.
Arcane Material Focus: Two small silicon rods.

You summon a sphere of variable time which tears
at the matter around it. Affected creatures take
1d4 points of damage per caster level (maximum
15d4) and must succeed on a Reflex save or risk
taking damage in the following round, and in
the previous round as well as the sphere’s effects
project into the past and future (6d4 points of
damage in the future round and 3d4 points of
damage in the past round).
Both rounds of continuing damage are subject to
Reflex saves for half damage. If the creature dies
in the past as a result of being struck by the past
projections of the sphere, the caster must make a
Paradox check(DC 15) or risk having the damage
that would otherwise be done in the present and
future rebound upon her.

Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Save: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
This spell wreathes you and your allies in a bubble
of Vortex energy and causes damage to each
creature that attacks you or your allies in melee.
The flames also protect you and your allies from
Vortex-based attacks.
Any creature striking you with its body or a
handheld weapon deals normal damage, but at the
same time the attacker takes 1d6 points of Vortex
damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +15).
If the attacker has spell resistance, it applies to
this effect. Creatures wielding weapons with
exceptional reach are not subject to this damage if
they attack you.
This bubble does not harm you or your friends as
long as they remain inside and gives off a bright
yellow light.

Level: Chrono/TM 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Self
Duration: 1 rnd/lvl or until discharged
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
The caster imbues a single ray or missile, magical
or otherwise, with the ability to unerringly
navigate the Vortex, and immunity to damage
from it. The caster may then fire the missile or cast
the spell and it will enter a Vortex hole opened just
long enough for it to pass through. It will then
speed through the Vortex and exit through another
aperture like the one it went in and strike the target
at a point in time determined by the caster. The
target cannot dodge or in any other way negate
being struck except by the use of an anticipate

The caster’s mind is thrown into the far future, to
an important event (ie. one where many timelines
are affected). The caster gains understanding
of the event itself, but not when it will happen
or why. Unless the caster chooses otherwise,
prophesy will go 100 years into the future and then
go forward until it reaches an event that is within
100 miles of the caster. Prophesy can be used to

Transtemporal Blade
Transmutation
Level: Chrono/TM 6
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One melee or thrown weapon, or fifty
projectiles (all of which must be in contact with
each other at the time of casting)
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object)
You transform a single melee weapon, thrown
weapon, or group of projectiles into a weapon that
transcends time. A transtemporal weapon is almost
invisible and ignores both nonliving matter (unless
specified) and time-based shields that would
otherwise halt a solid object. The weapon is in
fact not even in normal time but is extending into
Temporal Prime and strikes at the timelines of the
things it hits. Armor bonuses to AC (including any
enhancement bonuses to that armor) do not count
against it because the weapon passes through
armor. Dexterity, deflection, dodge, and other
such bonuses still apply. If this spell is cast on
arrows or crossbow bolts, the effect on a particular
projectile ends after one use, whether or not the
missile strikes its intended target. Treat shuriken
as arrows, rather than as thrown weapons, for the
purpose of this spell.
Transtemporal weapons can be made to strike
nonliving objects, but they must have a very
strong timeline. For the purposes of damage, it
can be expected that the average living human
has a strong enough line, most animals will take
75% damage, as will non-intelligent undead and
constructs, and objects will take damage if they are
old enough or important enough. Even if someone
is wearing armor that has a timeline strong
enough to be hit, this does not stop them from
taking damage from the attack as well, since the
transtemporal weapon will simply pass through
the armor (doing damage) and then hit the living
being underneath as well.

Transmutation [Evil]
Level: Chrono/TM 6
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 min./level
This spell functions like alter self, except that you
can take the form of any fiendish creature, demon,
or devil that can or ever could be summoned by
a summon monster I, II, III, or IV spell, meaning
that you can also gain the forms of the extinct
demons and devils. You also may take the form
of any legendary evil creature below 10HD that
you know of. You can assume only one form
with each use of the spell, but you gain all that
form’s extraordinary, spell-like, and supernatural
abilities, and your type changes to outsider and
you automatically are considered a traveler. Spells
and effects that harm or ward evil outsiders affect
you, and any effect that would normally banish an
outsider to its home plane instead ends the spell
and leaves you staggered for 1 round per caster
level.
Material Component: A bone from any extinct
fiendish creature, half-fiendish creature, demon, or
devil.

may transfer a number of uses of their abilities
with time equal to their own level+ Wisdom

Deceleration

Level: Chrono/TM 7
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Self or creature
Duration: 1 round/lvl or until dismissed
Saving Throw: Reflex Negates
Spell Resistance: No
The caster manipulates time, allowing her or a
target to move through linear time at a vastly
decelerated rate. Time slows by a factor of her
level, thus a 10th level chronomancer who uses
decelerate for the full 10 rounds is only left 1 round
in the future. This allows the caster to effectively
take her levels’ worth of full-round actions in a
single round. To the outside observer, it seems
as if the target of the spell has suddenly become
incredibly fast and agile. The caster also gains a +1
dodge bonus to AC per level.
At the end of the spell’s duration, the target is left
dizzy by the shifts in time and cannot take any
actions except to defend herself for 1d4 rounds.
Magic Manager
Universal
Level: Chrono/TM 7
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: Self
Duration: 2 rounds/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
The caster delays the time normally spent each
round recovering from the effects of spellcasting.
This allows for multiple spellcastings, but 2 rounds
of rest are required after the spell duration ends,
in which the caster cannot perform any combat or
casting actions.
The round after the spell is cast, the caster rolls
1d20 and adds the casting time(in rounds) of
whatever spell she wishes to cast. At the spell’s
conclusion, the caster then rolls another d10 and
adds the casting time of another spell. When the
total reaches 30, a new round has begun.
If on any round the caster performs a non-spell
action, then it takes up the entire next round.
For example, the caster casts three spells in a row
with casting times of 8 rounds(1 minute), 3 rounds
and 4 rounds with rolls of 15, 1 and 1. Two spells
are cast in the first round(totals of 14 and 19), then
the third spell is cast in the second round with a
roll of 2 (32 total – 30). The caster then decides to
drink a potion. The potion is imbibed in round 3
and the caster can continue casting spells in round
4.
Only 4th level spells and below may be cast with
magic manager.
Material Component: A drop of mercury and a
stopwatch.

This spell allows you to cast a spell as if it had
been triggered by a contingency. When prescient
contingency is cast, there is no companion spell,
however once you’ve discharged it, this spell
becomes a normal contingency in the past and is
cast with the companion spell and conditions set in

The caster projects a field around herself which

damage is physical, half the damage is applied
immediately and the other half is delayed until the
end of the duration of the spell. Healing potions

Non-damaging effects such as level drain or

Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell attempts to use temporal manipulation
to alter the abilities of a magical item, either
by increasing the duration of its effect or by
decreasing its recharge time. This spell can only be
used once on an item
Duration: Doubles the length of time that a magical
effect from an item lasts.
Frequency: Doubles its uses per day or halves its
cooldown time.
Mixing temporal and normal arcane magic is
dangerous. Use the following table to determine
whether the item is destroyed by the attempt.
You open yourself to the Vortex, seeking the power
of the genius loci but on your terms. You force the
malevolent will of the Vortex to grant you power,
and take damage for it. With this power, you can
cast spells and increase the strength of spells at a
cost to your body. You may cast any spell you’d
normally be able to without it affecting your spells
per day or leaving your prepared spells list, but
you take 1d8 damage for every spell level cast.
Thus a 9th level spell does 9d8 damage on top of
the other dangers of time magic. You may also
maximize or empower a spell, doing 4d8 and 3d8
damage respectively to yourself. While this spell
is in effect, your eyes burn with the light of the
Vortex and brilliant energy trails from your hands.
When it ends, you are fatigued for 1d6 rounds and
cannot take any combat or casting actions.

TEMPORAL WARLOCK
INVOCATION
DESCRIPTIONS
Deny Causality
Lesser; 3rd
This invocation makes you aware of paradoxes
as their temporal wavefront passes you and gives
you a brief glimpse into how the paradox would
affect you. You then may choose whether to
subsume your timeline into the new causality or
retain your current state. Either way, you recall
both the triggering and your decision and if you
choose subsumption, you recall what the previous
timeline was like. This lasts for 24 hours.
Devour the Vortex
Dark; 9th
With a mighty effort of will, you turn yourself
temporarily into a genius loci, gaining 20d20
temporary hit points, another 5d6 Vortex damage
50
added to your blast attack, use of all the Temporal
Warlock Invocations whether you know them or
not a +5 to AC, a field which does 3d6 damage
to any melee attacker and disintegrates 50% of
nonmagical projectiles which pass through it and
a touch attack which causes a temporal incursion
effect. This spell lasts for 1d6 rounds + 1 round/2
levels or until dismissed. Each round, the caster
must make a DC 25 Will save with a -1 cumulative
penalty per round or be dealt 20d8 damage which
bypasses the temporary hit points gained by the
invocation.
Eldritch Lock
Greater; 6th; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation allows you to improve
your eldritch blast by, sending it through the Vortex
as the Fire Through the Vortex spell. The limitation
is that you must either have a clear picture of the
target and know its precise co-ordinates if it isn’t at
your present location or have a line of sight to it.
Forward Blast
Greater; 5th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence transforms your eldritch blast
into a forward blast. A forward blast does not do
damage, but does force the target to metabolically
age 1 year/level. If the target fails a Will save,
then he dies of hunger, thirst and fatigue. An
immortal is unaffected by this blast. It is important
to remember that certain targets may gain strength,
such as Dragons.
Navigate the Path
Greater; 5th
This invocation gives you total knowledge of how
to get from any point in space and time to any
other using the Vortex. This lasts for 24 hours.
Path of the Vortex
Lesser; 4th
This invocation opens up a stable rift into the
Vortex, which you may enter. After 1 round/level,
the rift collapses. These rifts may be opened from
either side.
Reverse Blast
Dark; 8th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence transforms your eldritch blast
into a reverse blast. A reverse blast does not do
damage, but does force the target to metabolically
age backwards 1 year/level. The target loses
abilities as they become younger. Eternals are
unaffected by this attack.
Sight of the Vortex
Least; 2nd
You target a single creature or object and learn
everything there is to know about its history. From
birth to the present instant, you know all that it has
done and what effects those actions have had. You
also gain a +5 bonus to successfully incurring it
without unforeseen consequences.
Thief of Time
Greater; 6th
This invocation allows you to steal time from
another creature. For 1 round/level that creature
is rendered completely inert, unable to move or
take any action but speak. You in turn gain all the
actions the creature had, taking its turn as well as
your own.
Unravel
Dark; 9th
This invocation allows you to cast Temporal
Incursion as the spell, but with a much greater
chance of succeeding in both removing it utterly
without creating a Temporal Stalker (divide
the chances of creating a stalker by four) and in
removing it without deleterious consequence.
TEMPORAL BORROWER
FORMULAE DESCRIPTIONS
Tempus Fugit
Minor; 3rd
The target sees time go much slower than normal,
allowing him to always be first to make a move in
combat, and take an extra move or standard action
in the extra time created by this effect.
Lethargy
Minor; 3rd
The target sees time moving much faster, allowing
him to survive longer in absolute time with critical
wounds, but also moving at half the normal speed
and becoming unable to take more than a partial
action each turn.
Wrinkle in Time
Minor; 2nd
This spell pulls at the timeline of an object, forcing
its state into that of itself at another time. The
caster may choose exactly when or how long a
period this is. Objects that rust or fall apart do
so, and objects that may have been open or active
become so when this spell is cast. Useful for
opening doors or restoring items.
Divert Paradox
Minor; 4th
The caster sees a change in the timeline coming and
is able to shunt it to another creature or item. For
example, if a chronomancer makes a change that
would reduce the XP of the caster by 2,000 points
by taking away a mission he’d gone on the year
before, the caster can now make a nearby goblin he
is fighting take the XP damage, likely killing it.
Timeslip
Minor; 3rd
The caster can cast timeslip as the spell.
Infallible
Minor; 3rd
The caster can cast Wesley’s Opportune Concentrator
as the spell.
Sight of the Devourer
Minor; 3rd
The caster becomes aware of the age of all things
around him, from how long the inn has stood
to the time since the boulder outside of town
was thrown there by a giant and how long it has
been since it was separated from a cliff from an
earthquake. Every time something changes in a
very important way, the caster knows about it, thus
segmenting the lives of the people around him.
Temporal Disjunction
Minor; 4th
The cast can cast Wesley’s Temporal Disjunction as
51
 the spell.
Fear of the Devourer
Moderate; 7th
For 24 hours the caster gains 100% Vortex
immunity and becomes immune to all time-based
spells, even becoming invisible to prophesy and
time’s eye spells.
Anachron
Moderate; 6 th
The caster reduces his metabolic age up to 10 years,
effectively becoming 10 years younger without
losing any memories or XP.
Enforced Stillness
Moderate; 6th
The caster gains one use of a timebender’s Stillness
ability, sitting still and allowing time to pass by.
Once the caster leaves the still state, he must cast
this spell again to enter it once more.
Take Time
Moderate; 7th
The caster gains all the actions of a target creature
for 1 round/level, and the creature is paralyzed for
the duration of the spell.
Obliterate Time
Moderate; 7th
The caster can use time stop as the spell, except that
it lasts 1 round/level.
Give Time
Moderate; 7th
For 2 rounds/level, the caster may choose to stay
perfectly still, and give all his actions to a target
creature or player. The caster can still observe his
surroundings and break the trance at any time,
regaining his actions from the target.
Bubble of Acceleration
Major; 9th
The target of this spell is placed in an impermeable
bubble, unable to interact or be interacted with
for 1 round/level, as time passes inside at a rate
of 24 hours/round. An antimagic field will remove
52
the temporal effect, but not the bubble, but rods
of cancellation or Mordekeinen’s Disjunction will
destroy both.
Temporal Prism
Major; 9th
The caster may use temporal prism as the spell.
Form of the Devourer
Major; 9th
The caster becomes a fearsome avatar of time,
gaining perfect flight 60ft, the ability to timestorm
as a Temporal Elemental, 10d20 temporary hit
points, a +2d6 reverse blast and forward blast, and
the ability to temporally incur as the spell on a
successful touch, gaining five minor charges for
an animal, five moderate charges for an intelligent
creature, five major charges for a traveler or five
massive charges for a temporal elemental, time
dimensional or unique traveler. On successfully
incurring a traveler or above, a Temporal Stalker is
automatically formed, and the caster may choose to
expend a massive charge to bind the Stalker to his
will for 2d10 years after which, he may use another
massive charge to extend the bondage for another
2d10 years and so on.
Punch Through
Major; 9th
The caster focuses linear time to a shining lance
and cuts through the Void, opening rifts in it for
2d6 hours with each punch. This effect lasts 1d4
rounds + 1 round/level and the caster may strike
once each round with the lance to open another
rift.
Shifting Sands
Major; 9th
The caster draws upon a well of chronokinetic
power, gaining the ability to cast a single spell
from the Temporal Mage spell list. Material and
XP costs are negated by the massive energy used to
grant this power.

TEMPORAL
EFFECTS
THE CHANGE
It is inevitable
that an adept in
temporal science will
cause a change in the
timeline. The only
way to avoid such is
perfect knowledge of
all that was, will be
and is now. And even
then, the adept would
have to balance her
actions so carefully
that it becomes
pointless to even try
to avoid. This is not to say that a
Guardian of the Timeline should
simply sit on her hands and never
use her powers at all. Small
chaos-based effects are usually
so minor a change that it is
never noticed except by the most
sensitive of time travelers, and
any who have risen so high know
that these changes are no threat
to the timeline as a whole and can
be safely ignored.
Since such random
changes usually cancel each
other out, they are hereafter not
to be considered true changes
at all, but merely background
noise to the symphony of time.
A cough in the orchestra is
not to be paid attention to. It
is when the harmony itself is
altered that attention must be
paid. There are four categories
of change, based on their
methods, intended ends and
effects.
Change gross: Few adepts bother
with the dangerous and obvious
change gross. Only the most low-level dolt would
think that simply altering the fact that they seek
to alter would be enough. This method can be
best summed up by the wizard who goes back in
time to kill a hated enemy. It’s crude, it causes a
personal paradox and it could have far-reaching
consequences like having that enemy missing
when a greater danger is present. A change gross
is never used by Guardians or Magi and even the
more direct Warlock is unlikely to try.
Change insidious: The
most common method
of changing things,

a change gross taken much

example would be the destruction

 SPECIFIC NPCS
TIME LORDS
Though it may seem that mastery of time travel
would be a rare trait even amongst those who
practice it for many years, this is not actually
so. The Academies of Gallifrey, for instance, will
not give a Time Lord their TARDIS without first
testing them to make sure they know everything
they can about temporal science. Though there are
few Time Lords who venture from the citadel, their
lifespans are such that there are now quite a few
out there.
THE DOCTOR
If there is any single time traveler whose
name is known to all others, it is the Doctor. The
Doctor has the distinction of possibly being the
only member of the Time Lords more famous than
the order itself. Thousands of species in every
part of the cosmos from one end of time to the
other has seen him. It could even be said that all
beings across universe of time can be split into two
approximately equivalent halves. The half that is
his friend and the half that is his enemy.
Unlike most Time Lords, the Doctor has
regenerated entirely by necessity rather than by
desire. This has introduced wild instabilities
into his mind, such that each regenerative form
is almost completely different from all the others.
While the rest of the Time Lords – even the other
rogues – are somewhat consistent in personality
when they regenerate, the Doctor retains only a
few basic traits. Thus it is impossible to give him
a single set of statistics and it is necessary to class
each one as a separate entity. Which one you are
dealing with can mean the difference between
success and failure when he is involved.
58
ONE
The non-interventionalist
Male Gallifreyan Wizard/Archmage: Medium-size

Before he ever regenerated, the Doctor
was considered a rogue by the Time Lords, but
still adhered to many of their principles and
retained most of their traits. The first Doctor is
completely convinced of his own rightness, and
will not take any action he deems unwise. He
does not change the timeline, nor does he allow
others to do so. Do not expect either help or
hindrance from One unless there is a change being
attempted. Whatever the outcome, the change will
be opposed.
One is quick to anger, ill-mannered when
annoyed, but can adopt flawless manners in any
time or place when he chooses to. He takes a
perverse delight in being able to take action when
provoked and once roused will do whatever
he feels necessary. Arguably the least likely to
oppose, but the most dangerous when he chooses
to.

Strands
Though a denizen of Temporal Prime(next section),
Strands are occasionally sucked into the Vortex.
They are no less tenacious, and seem unaffected by
the damaging energies of the Vortex. Normally,
they are harmless, however, as there are usually
only a pack at a time encountered in the Vortex
and dissolve upon arrival. If they build up to
critical levels(see ”Strands” on page 70), they will
drag the traveler out of the Vortex, either into
Temporal Prime proper, or into the Void.

THE EXTENDED
ELEMENTAL
PLANE OF TIME
The Manual of the Planes contains an entry on the
elemental plane of Time. Though Mechanus helps
to tick away the sections of linear time, it does not
originate there. The Sands are in fact woven into
the timestream on a demiplane of Time, Temporal
Prime. That is where the dimension of linear time
is created.
TEMPORAL PRIME
If one travels the Plane of Time long enough, or
has a rudimentary understanding of temporal
mechanics, Temporal Prime is actually quite easy
to find. Entering it from Time is nearly impossible.
It is a black wall which seems infinitely long, but
is in fact a sphere of immense proportions. The
sands of Time constantly flow in, but none flow
out of it. No spell will allow one to pass the wall,
and an attempt to push in results in 1d20 damage
for each round one pushes. Not moving also stops
the damage taken, but you are then pushed slowly
in the direction of the plane of Time, taking no
damage, but losing ground at half normal speed.
With a fly spell or similar means of propulsion, it
would take approximately two minutes or twenty
rounds to push through, but there is an easier way.
From any place where linear time exists, one can
simply timeslip to Temporal Prime. The reason
why it is so easy is because linear time is always
there; you just need to be able to step from its
domain to time itself.
If approached from the Plane of Time, Temporal
Prime appears to be a black field with a set of lines
very far away in an arbitrary location. Movement
may be accomplished simply by walking in a
chosen direction; gravity is completely subjective.
It is important to note, however, that movement
is actually wisdom-based in Prime. For every 5
points of Wisdom, increase movement speed by
another 25%. As one comes closer to the lines, one
can see them move and branch and merge in a way
that is almost incomprehensible. The Map of the
Fractured Line is in fact a moveable window into
Temporal Prime and the line is the current state of
multiversal stability with respect to time. Getting
even closer reveals more lines and more and more
no matter how close you get until you finally alight
on your own personal timeline. This is where a
timeslip would get you. You are surrounded by the
timelines of all things on the plane you timeslipped
from. In order to see other planes, you must pass
through the Void, which is made of the same stuff
as the outside of Temporal Prime and is just as
thick, though trackless so you never know where
you’ll end up if you try to pass through it.
The lines in Temporal Prime are subjective based
on how much effect they have on the passage of
time. Normally, inanimate objects are invisible,
though if a rock fell onto a chronomancer by
accident, the rock’s line would appear at that point
very brightly, but likely fade again quickly. To
untangle a single person who is not a traveler is
difficult and animals who do not belong to such
people are nearly impossible.
Temporal Prime is actually the home of a great
many creatures, as it is quite hospitable in its own
way. There is, in fact, only one real reason why it
is not settled by time travelers. It lacks air. There
are no gasses within Temporal Prime at all, though
fires are possible. Anything that enters Prime
carries a certain amount of normal space potential
that fades the longer they stay. There is a DC
10+the number of days spent in Prime for lighting
fires and the like. Also, any object that is not in
the possession of its owner immediately loses its
potential and is unable to move, though it regains
all its potential once a living being touches it. This
makes ranged combat very difficult, as arrows and
bolts simply hang in midair once they’ve left the
bow. Trying to recover ammunition, however,
is quite deadly as the arrow will once again gain
its full kinetic energy once touched and impale at
point blank range anything that touches it. After a
week in Temporal Prime, creatures tend to forget
to breath, and returning to their home is quite
distressing as their autonomic breathing has shut
down and they need to get it started again. For
every week spent in Prime, it takes another full day
of controlled breathing to get ones system started
again. By the sixth month, it’s usually impossible.
Those creatures that take up permanent residence
subsist on each other and the tempsynth, a
nutritious moss that grows on timelines.
Prime is also very fast-paced compared with other
planes. Even standing still leads to a 4:1 time
ratio between it and the Prime Material. Moving
69
 along the timelines is an effective means of travel,
but inefficient compared to the Vortex, which is
actually a gigantic maelstrom that connects points
in Temporal Prime together. Whenever someone
uses the Vortex to travel either from or to a location
nearby in Prime, a downspout descends from an
arbitrary location away but always orthogonal to
the timelines. There is a 1% chance per day that
one of these downspouts will hit near enough to
sweep up a traveler. A DC 30 Wisdom check is
necessary to decide whether a traveler is sucked
into the Vortex by this occurrence.
To find out how many days one can move in time
in a single day of movement in Prime, square the
wisdom of the character. A wisdom of 10 means
100 days of temporal movement, plus the six hours
time differential. Places where the Labyrinth
opens up appears to be a permanent airspout from
the Vortex to Temporal Prime. It is possible to
enter the Vortex bodily through Prime, but only
through the spouts. The main difficulty with travel
in Prime is that any attempt to travel your own
line is impossible as using timeslip on your own
line cannot be done except to return to the point
where you left Traveling someone else’s line can
often lead to unpredictable exits. It is naturally
easy to get a bearing on past and future, but spatial
locations are more tricky. As well, any attempt
to follow the timeline of an entire plane or the
multiverse itself usually results in an extremely
dangerous exit. After all, big things are brighter,
stars are very important to the multiverse, and
most of the cosmos is empty space.
Strands
Apart from the danger of maelstrom formation
caused by a nearby use of the Vortex, and of the
many creatures that inhabit Prime, there are the
Strands. Their origin is mysterious, though they
appear to be timelines that have come loose from
their moorings and start floating around. Possibly
they are the severed lines of the temporally
incurred. Whatever they are, they appear
mindless, floating randomly through Prime. Only
10% of strands are visible at any particular time.
They attach themselves to organic matter whenever
they encounter it, bypassing armor and clothing as
if it didn’t exist.
Strands occur either in packs of 1d6 or clouds of
6d6. They are extremely common everywhere on
Prime, though they are especially plentiful in the
Void between planes. If a single strand or pack are
encountered, it can be assumed that they will all
try to attach themselves to the first party member
(reflex DC 20 + number of attached strands). If a
70
cloud is encountered, up to 6 can attach to each
character, chosen randomly.
Strands do two things to a character. First, they
make timesliping difficult. A Wisdom check(DC
10+the number of attached strands) is necessary to
successfully timeslip back to reality. Failure means
that the strands must be handled before return
to reality is possible. If they do make it, they are
thrown 5d6 rounds into the future for each Strand.
Seconds, Strands pull towards the future. For the
purposes of movement, they decrease Wisdom by
-1 per strand when moving backwards or in space,
and +1 if moving forwards. If a creature has a
number of Strands equal to their Wisdom, they are
yanked into the future at a rate of the square of the
number of attached Strands. As they move, they
tend to gain more Strands, moving even faster. For
each turn of travel roll 1d20. 1 means no collisions,
20 means a one-round encounter with a creature of
Prime. Everything else means collision with 1d10
timelines, which attack with a 0 bonus against the
character’s AC, doing 1d6 damage on a successful
attack. This gives the character a chance to make a
DC10 strength check to determine whether they’ve
caught hold of a timeline. There is a 1% chance per
strand that this will fail anyway.
Once secured, or if the number of strands is not yet
critical, it is necessary to remove one’s clothes and
scrub vigorously with a mild acid like lemon juice
to remove the Strands. A spell of that nature is also
effective.
Strands are another reason why the Prime is not
traveled much, and why all those who do tend to
pack tent frames and a lot of spare canvases for
when the Strands make off with the outside of their
tent.
THE VOID
As previously noted, the Void is the area between
planes on Temporal Prime. It is thick, causes
damage, and is the home of the Void Spiders,
which are a danger in themselves. Stopping in the
Void stops damage as well and there is no effect
that tries to push you back. However, the Void is
a confusing place, the blackness broken only by
passing Temporal Gliders and Void Spiders. If you
simply push through in one direction, you’ll end
up on another plane in two minutes. If you vary
your course even a fraction of a degree, you may
end up in the Void for
a much longer time and
you will need either a
good damage reduction
or a lot of healing spells
to survive. Strands
are also much more
common in the Void
than anywhere else, and
if they hit critical, you
can be dragged for ages
before hitting either a
Temporal Spider’s web,
or another plane full of
timelines.

TIMEHAVEN The outpost of the Guardians

been covered and its history
explaining how this happened
will be covered, so suffice it
to say that Timehaven exists in a bubble of null
time in the Elemental Plane. Anything may enter
Timehaven from the
outside, or through
a gate, but the sands
may not pass through
except in the measured
quantities necessary to
keep Timehaven’s linear
time even. Because it
has a regular linear time,
it is naturally connected
to the Prime. Because
it is also coplanar, it
has the only visible
connection, in the form
of an infinitesimally thin wire that looks like a
timeline snaking from the Timehaven bubble to
the black sphere of Prime. Attachment to the
string pulls whatever is attached into Prime, and
the subject can detach at any point between first
entering Prime and finally landing on her own
timeline. This does not negate the damage taken
by traveling through the wall, but the speedy
nature halves the damage.

EQUIPMENT Armor, temporal incursion; Market Price: +100,000
This chapter describes a variety of mundane,
alchemical, and magic items that might be
common in campaigns that prominently feature
time traveling. Some function as weapons against
the temporally displaced, while others serve
time travelers or are not commonly found in the
common era.
ALCHEMICAL SUBSTANCES
The special equipment in this section is particularly
suited for characters who deal with time travelers
on a regular basis (either as enemies or allies).
Huon infusion: This glowing yellow unguent,
when spread on a weapon, allows it to strike
time travelers for two rounds that are in the same
relative position but different in a different time.
Artron infusion: This glowing blue oil, when
spread on a weapon, gives it temporal strike for
three rounds.
MAGICAL ITEMS
Any cosmos that includes a significant number of
time travelers can be expected to develop a wide
range of new magic items designed to interact with
those creatures. Some are intended for combat,
while others are more utilitarian in nature.
ARMOR
Magic armor and shields provide crucial defense
against the attacks of temporal enemies. These new
special properties are particularly appropriate in
battle.
Chronoton feedback: A suit of armor or shield
with this quality will, on an enemy temporal
incursion attempt, turn the effect back on its caster.
Thus if the caster successfully incurs you, they are
incurred instead.
72
CL 25; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
gp.
Asymmetricality: While wearing this suit of armor,
you are not subject to changes or paradoxes. You
cannot be incurred, affected, timelocked or in any
other way harmed or helped by a change made in
the past.
CL 30; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, paradox; Market Price: +400,000 gp.
Quasiplasmoitic shell: Armor with this quality
protects the wearer from being damaged by the
Vortex. It does not, however, confer protection
against mental assault. For the purposes of
damage reduction treat this effect as a 100%
damage reduction(Vortex).
CL 10; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, Greater Time Armor; Market Price: +2
bonus.
SPECIFIC ARMOR
The following armors are preconstructed with
exactly the qualities as described below.
Shifter’s Plate: This suit of +2 full plate seems
not to be entirely there at all times. The swirling
designs pulse, change color and shift constantly.
Once per day, the wearer can turn the armor into
a portable hole into the Vortex for two rounds,
forcing any who initiate a melee attack during
that period to make a reflex save (DC 17+wearer’s
dexterity bonus) or fall into the Vortex. Allies may
leap into the hole during this time as well. While
the Vortex hole is active, the wearer is treated as
phased, but can be hit by a called shot to a part not
covered by the armor.
Guardian’s Scale: This suit of +4 Asymmetrical
Quasiplasmoitic scale mail is pitch black and
seems to be solid plate rather than scale when
not in motion. Constructed specifically for use
by Guardians of the Timeline, this scale not only
protects against temporal changes and paradoxes,
it also allows the Guardian to follow her targets
into the Vortex. The specially enchanted gloves
of this armor set will lock on to any time traveler
they are pointed at and will then grant the
wearer perfect Vortex navigation for as long as
they pursue the targeted being. Once captured,
the armor will then open a Vortex gate and
guide the wearer to the same spaciotemporal
location that the lock took place in. To an outside
observer, the act of locking on and capture will
occur simultaneously as long as the capture was
successful.
Robe of the Timeless Master: This +1 Robe is
yellow with red trim and to most only carries that
armor bonus. When worn by a Deja Fu monk,
however, the robe’s true abilities are engaged. The
Monk gains +5 to Knowledge(Temporal Science)
for the purposes of using his Deja Fu, and +10 to
his temporal strike ability.
WEAPONS
Some of the special weapon properties here are
intended for the weapons of characters who fight
time travelers, while others work best for weapons
in the hands of the travelers themselves.
Supersymmetrical edge: A weapon with this
quality allows the wielder to land their strikes a
round before or after the attack is called. Strikes
initiated in this way can be treated as if they hit
the target flat-footed. In addition, if a strike sent
into the past kills the target, then all actions taken
by the target in the time between the weapon’s use
and the hit are negated.
CL 25; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, fire into the Vortex;
Market Price: +100,000 gp.
Asymmetrical edge: A weapon
with this quality grants the
wielder the Temporal Strike
ability if the wielder does not
have it or a +5 to Temporal
Strike if she does. In addition,
this weapon may be treated
as an unarmed strike for
the purposes of initiating a
Temporal Strike.
CL 15; Prerequisites: Craft
Magic Arms and
Armor, protection from
paradox; Market Price: +50,000
gp.
Vortex Blade: A weapon with this quality has
had its blade replaced by blade-shaped Vortex
gate. For the purposes of damage reduction,
all damage caused by this weapon is Vortex-
based. In addition, it does an extra 2d6 damage
on a successful hit and once per day, the wielder
may treat it as an actual Vortex hole, forcing the
target to take a reflex save(DC 15+wielders attack
bonus) or be pulled into the Vortex. If this weapon
is targeted by a dispel magic or Mordekeinen’s
Disjunction, there is a 70% chance that the binding
enchantment will fail but the hole will remain. It
then acts as a wild Vortex gate centered on the
position the weapon previously held. The wielder
must make a reflex save(DC 20) or be pulled into
the Vortex. Every turn after, the gate’s radius
increases by one square.
CL 30; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, visage of the Vortex; Market Price: +300,000
gp.
Temporal Incursion Missile: Only ranged
weapons may have this ability. A weapon with
this quality turns any ammunition placed within
into an Incursion Missile, which on a successful
hit forces the target to make a Will save(DC
25+wielders Knowledge(temporal science) or be
incurred.
CL 35; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, temporal incursion; Market Price: +400,000
gp.
SPECIFIC WEAPONS
The following weapons are
preconstructed with exactly the
qualities as described below.
Paradoxical Blade: This +3
Greatsword may or may not
actually exist depending on
many factors. When wielded,
it gives the user a +5 to
Knowledge(temporal science)
for the purposes of Paradox
checks.
Guardian’s Justice: This +2
Spiked Chain gains a further +3
to attack and disarm attempts
against time travelers and will of its own volition
wrap around a time traveler’s body, forcing them
to take a reflex save(DC 10+wielder’s attack bonus)
or be immobilized, taking 1d8 damage from the
73
 chain for every turn the chain remains on them.
The wielder may choose to make the chain let go at
will.
RINGS
Rings with temporal qualities are
relatively few, though those that
exist are potent indeed.
Temporal Forcefield: This ring
has been enchanted to produce
the forcefield effect of a TARDIS,
effectively negating all Vortex
damage while engaged. The
forcefield can be collapsed by
dispel magic and like effects, as
well as massive damage. For the
purposes of damage, the forcefield
has 250hp.
Temporal Detection: This ring
vibrates in the presence of
anything that does not belong in
the temporal area of the ring.
RODS
Rods are rarely used by time
travelers, who find that they fall
apart too easily.
Trionic Cipher Indent Rod: This
rod causes all time traveling devices
to unlock in its presence. This can
be quite annoying for many time
travelers, and few own one for fear of accidentally
letting people into their own capsule.
Sonic screwdriver: This rod is
meant for the time traveler with
few or no skills at opening locks,
disarming traps or otherwise
handling day-to-day adventuring.
Originally created by the Doctor
to make his life easier, these items
vary wildly between models.
Characteristics shared by all,
however, are:
Knock: 5 uses/day
Sound burst: 2 uses/day
74
Spring trap(all traps in a radius of 500 feet go off):
3 uses/day
Other abilities that may be found are a 1 use/day
shatter, the ability to melt through
metal and technological overrides
causing devices to malfunction
or simply stop working in the
presence of the screwdriver.
Irregular Detection: This rod is
tipped with a blue gem that glows
in the presence of time travelers
and will burst into brilliant light
when a paradox occurs nearby.
Also, when commanded, it will
point towards the nearest source
of temporal irregularities. May
be used in combat as a +2 trident
with the asymmetrical edge
enchantment.
WONDROUS
ITEMS
There is quite a lot of variance
among the wondrous from maps,
to goggles to things that defy
categorization.
Flux Capacitor: Few time travelers
believe that this exists. The name
itself is ridiculous, as is the claim of
instantaneous transit through the
Vortex. If the claims are true, then
this would be an immensely useful
item indeed. Supposedly, it allows
the user to teleport without error in
the Vortex, allowing them to go
anywhere and anytime instantly. Also, how the
hells can you ever activate it? Nothing goes eighty-
eight miles per hour.
TARDIS: The time capsules of
the Time Lords, a TARDIS is
currently considered the pinnacle
of dimensional and temporal
engineering. It’s outer and
inner sizes may be adjusted at
will by the owner, as well as
most features. Those inside are
shielded totally from the Vortex
in a comfortable environment
with all the amenities one could
wish. With the correct training, a TARDIS can
be piloted anywhere in the universe of time and
space, crossing any boundary with ease. The
only thing that most travelers find disturbing
about a TARDIS is that it is also intelligent and
often temperamental. It is also worth noting
that one should never attempt to pilot a TARDIS
without the proper training, as the systems are
quite delicate and navigational issues have been
reported after a bad dematerialization.
Chronoton Guidance System: The Krenim
Imperium’s mainstay. The Temporal Guidance
System allows a weapon to strike a target, use
the strike’s information to learn how to bypass
its armor and then send that information back to
itself before it hit. Thus the weapon simply passes
through armor both mundane and magical as
if it wasn’t there. The Krenim have used this to
conquer and keep most of the Imperium they now
hold. At least as far as they know.
Map of Stressed Time: Not all ways in time
and space need be traversed by the slow and
dangerous paths of the Vortex and the Labyrinth.
Some places are connected by points of stressed
spacetime which open and close at precise
spaciotemporal locations. They are often quite
close together, and so a time traveler who knows
the way can get many places quickly and safely.
This map shows every one of these stress points. It
is thought that the points connect the most traveled
locations in the universe of time. Considering
how conveniently located they are, this is not an
unreasonable assumption. Beware, however,

Map of the Fractured Line:
Originally an insert in the
Nature, the Fractured Map
has been reproduced several
times and now hangs both
behind the desk of Trellen
Timekeeper in Timehaven
and in the planning chamber
in Chronux. It is a graphical
representation of the Nature,
and though it is somewhat
easier to make sense of, it is still staggeringly
difficult to truly understand. The Fractured Line
itself is always growing outward, showing each
change and its effects. One glance shows what the
first timeline ever was, and what would happen
were it ever restored. There is no legend, however,
to say what timeline is currently prevalent, nor
which one the map itself inhabits. That is for
the reader to learn if they can. The Guardians
have long since given up trying to actually read
it. Instead, they simply watch for any divergence
large enough to merit intervention and then they
go. It’s easier than trying to actually figure out
what’s going on.
Timelock Seal: Another
amenity of the Temporal

timelock seal a way

a lock of hair, wine or a

an incursion.
Lisker’s Temporal Keys: Lisker, one of the few
known chronomancers, invented a set of magical
keys to assist him in his travels. These look like
old-fashioned skeleton keys made of gold, but
each has different gems decorating it. The items
work when the gems are pressed and the operating
word is spoken. And identify spell cannot reveal
the necessary command word, but they are easy to
figure out.
Lisker’s Portal Key: Lisker made dozens of these,
some for trading with fellow
chronomancers. The gems
decorating these keys are
emeralds. With the key, the
possessor may timeslip once
per turn.
Lisker’s Timeline Key: With one
of these, the possessor can sort
through the timelines to find
a specific one. For a specific
type of thing, they possessor
must study it thoroughly.
For an individual object or
creature, the possessor must
have encountered it before. The key is decorated
with topaz and may be used once every three turns.

Lisker’s Timestream Key: These six keys reveal the date
in reality with respect to the possessor’s location
in the timestream. These keys are decorated with
sapphires and can be used for up to an hour before
requiring two hours to recharge.
Lisker’s Vortex Key: Rubies decorate these three keys.
When triggered, the key opens a gate into the Vortex,
grants the user a perfect knowledge of Vortex
navigation and projects an impenetrable forcefield
around the possessor, protecting them from the
Vortex. It is possible for a Gallifreyan to mistake
the wielder of one of these
keys for a Time Lord and
the key as a TARDIS. It
may be triggered every six
hours.

is unique and decorated
with opals. It grants the

The Weir of Kandalon:

Kandalon was one
of the most brilliant

ever to pass through
Timehaven. He’s
been several figures in
history and mythology
as well as having lived
through more than
one iteration. While
still in Timehaven,
he constructed the Weir, which may have been
inspired by the Arch of Rarg in its design.
The Weir at first appears to be a marble arch, with
eighteen large gems mounted along the rim, or
sockets where the gems ought to be. These gems
operate the Weir, which projects a damlike field
across the timestream. The field causes light
turbulence along the timestream, but not enough
to attract a temporal creature’s attention. Using
the gems, someone with the correct knowledge
can move the dam anywhere in time and space,
creating a gate between the two points similar to
a temporal stress point, including the one-way
aspect.
After the primary gems have been adjusted, they
lock into place and become the secondary gems.
They allow the user to use spells like clairaudience,
true seeing and detect invisibility targeted on the
other side of the gate. If found alone, the gems’
secondary powers may be triggered three times a

ORGANIZATIONS
GUILD OF TIMEHAVEN
It is quite easy to join the
Guild. All you have to do is
find it. Timehaven is open
only to those who already
have the talent and their
apprentices, and membership
is compulsory for any who
wish to use Timehaven’s
resources. Guild membership
has few requirements and
many rewards.
The main requirement is
neutrality from temporal
conflicts. The Guild does
not care what your aims
are as long as you do not
involve the Guild itself in
a costly and life-consuming
war. Thus membership in the
Guild precludes membership
in any non-neutral
organization. Thus a
Time Lord may join
but not a Guardian or
one from Disharmony.
Second is that no
member may take
action against another.
Temporal conflict
between Guild
members is prohibited
and the aggressor
in any conflict is
immediately expelled,
retroactive to the
beginning of their
membership.
Finally, members are
required to log any
new discoveries and
provide the Guild
library with copies
of any manuscript dealing with
temporal science that is not
already there.
The benefits, however, of membership make the
80
three main laws worth following, and there have
been quite a few who have forsaken their own
factions to gain them.
The library alone is worth membership. Every
scrap of knowledge dealing with temporal
science and time magic reside within. There are
no restrictions on reading material, and even the
Nature is open to any who might try to puzzle out
the method behind its organization.
Along with the library there
is also the fact that every
member has an apartment
based on their seniority
within the organization and
as much to eat as they care
to have. Most goods and
services are free or highly
discounted, as many of
those in Timehaven who are

providing the best luxuries
for their superiors.

their knowledge and some also chose to join him

currently stands, there is a god who protects the
Order. Lolth. She finds it an interesting and
amusing concept and has gone as far as to install
one of her most precious clerics as its leader.
Though the deities of law would take it amiss if she
went any further, Lolth is considering what she can
do for the Order that would not be a declaration of
war. Just as her opposites are doing the same for
the Guardians.

ORDER OF

PARADOX
The origins of this organization are naturally not
even worth asking about.
If anyone ever started the
Order, they have long since
been temporally incurred
in hopes of keeping the
Guardians from destroying
the entire Order by doing
so in a more damaging way.
The members of the Order
are fanatically devoted to
creating more numerous
and more damaging
paradoxes. Though many
are capable of stabilizing
even the most logic-tearing paradox, they
only use that ability when strengthening
the contradiction field around their own
organization.
As previously stated, the aims of the Order
are simple. Many paradoxes, large paradoxes
and eventually a paradox so amazingly mind-
bending that the multiverse cannot sustain it and
all of reality collapses into primeval chaos. For
this reason, it is thought that the Order began

AND ANCIENT
ORDER OF
THE LORDS
OF TIME,

… And so on and so forth. The
Time Lords are, as previously
stated, the likely first travelers
of time. They are also almost
completely separate from the
dealings of travelers now, as
few ever leave their home in
the Citadel on Gallifrey, and
most of those are only research
and observation teams. The
Time Lords almost certainly
predate both the Guardians
and Disharmony, though it is
rumored that both were started
by Time Lord factions. They
were the first to find and travel
the Vortex, and most travelers
believe that they built the
labyrinth. Their castoffs and criminals have been
known to topple empires and conquer star systems
without apparent effort. Most travelers are
therefore thankful that the Time Lords are almost
always content to sit in their citadel and watch as
time progresses, safe in the knowledge that nothing
can touch them. Well, almost nothing.
It is important for the traveler to realize, however,
that just because they seem harmless, that even the
most stuffy Cardinal of the Council is to be trifled
with. Time Lords are quick to anger when their
tranquility is threatened and that any Gallifreyan
met outside of the Citadel is likely nowhere near as
dangerous as those who stay within.
The Time Lords are the primary reason why
paradoxes and changes
within their sphere of
awareness do not function.
Their founder set forth the
way time would flow, and
as long as the Citadel stands,
no paradox or change in
the timeline can take hold,
save if it were originated on
Gallifrey itself. Any attempt
to navigate the Vortex near
Gallifrey, however, brings
a traveler right up against
the Rassilon Imprimatur, a
field within the Vortex that
forces anything attempting
to leave the Vortex to land on
Gallifrey in their relative present.
The history of the Time Lords is long and a subject
of contention. The known
facts are that Gallifreyans
used to be far more personally
powerful than they are now,
possessing psionics that rivaled
the Illithids in strength. Then
came the era of the Founders,
in which Rassilon, Omega and
a shadowy figure only know as
the Other devised the methods
by which unlimited Vortex
transit could be obtained.
Omega was killed while
creating the power source,
and for a time Rassilon ruled a
great empire. For reasons still
unresolved, Rassilon brought
a halt to the expansionist,
arrogant Gallifreyan society
and locked their more
ostentatious abilities into the
Artifacts, along with the ability
to control many aspects of time. It was during this
era that the Gallifreyans were given the ability to
regenerate from fatal wounds, and rendered sterile.
Rassilon granted himself eternal life, and retired to
his tower to sleep until Gallifrey needs him again.
An imprint of his mind was left in the Matrix, a

FACTION PARADOX
There is an organized
movement within Time Lord
society that finds the paradox
the highest form of art. They
have no goal, but rather exist
as a conscious counterweight
to the traditional Time Lords.
They act outside of Time
Lord law and are possibly
the only group ever to do so
without being apprehended.
As they are former Time
Lords themselves, they
know exactly how to avoid
detection. Their garments
are made from creatures that
never existed, and they take
pride in doing the logically
impossible. Their leader is
known only as Grandfather
Paradox and may or may
not be the viewer’s future
self. Their base is in an area of time that exists
only on paper, known as the 11-day empire. When
the British Empire first adopted the Gregorian
calendar, and in so doing had to correct their
dating scheme by 11 days (September 2, 1752
being followed by September 14, 1752), Faction
Paradox claimed the missing 11 days as their
base. It is believed that as the Time Lords were
the inspiration for the formation of the Guardians,
so Paradox may have at some point spawned
Disharmony. Both “child” organizations are more
active versions of the Time
Lord factions, dealing with
the travelers who are more
active than the Time Lords as
a whole.

The Time Lords may also

have inspired a small
movement amongst
dragonkin to protect the
timestream. Many Dragons
are lawful by nature, and
their long lives coupled with
a very broad view tend to
put Dragons on the side of
a changeless timestream.

DALEKS
This creature appears to be a salt shaker with two
sticklike arms and an eyestalk on the front of its dome.
One arm is hollow, the other terminates in a large
sucker like a starfish. A pair of lights are placed like ears
on the top of its dome and it is covered in large bumps.
It speaks in a loud, grating monotone and repeats itself
constantly.
Daleks are perhaps the most dangerous thing a
traveler can end up facing. They were created
with a hatred of all life and a will to dominate.
Though originally rife with weaknesses, the race
has constantly improved itself, gaining time travel
about midway through its history.
The name ‘Dalek’ refers usually to the construct
that the true creature, the Kaled, which is an
aberration that, though capable of independent
movement and attack, is ultimately very
vulnerable. The Kaleds were originally humanoid,
but a thousand-year war with another humanoid
race left them mutated into the aberrations they are
86
now. Several varieties of Dalek exist, though they
manage to avoid one another.
Their creator, Davros, has managed to survive
through most of time, though not using time
travel. He has taken the slow road, and so is older
than many gods. He was once seen as a god by
his creations, but they soon came to view him
as just another tool. Last time they met, he was
imprisoned and forced to help them.
Combat
Daleks will often take prisoners at first, but if a
prisoner turns out to be too intelligent or otherwise
unsuitable, they are immediately exterminated.
If a single person fights back, that usually spells
death for the entire group. At that point, it is to
be expected that a Dalek will simply open fire on
anything that moves and is not another Dalek.
Once battle has begun, there is no strategy. They
kill everything or are destroyed.
Dalek Traits: All Daleks share the same basic
construction and characteristics unless otherwise
noted. Daleks cannot take an attack of opportunity
against a target that is not directly in front of them.
They are unaware of activity that is not within a
45 degree cone in front of them. They must be
upright to function and cannot trundle up or down
stairs without a means of flight. An inline of more
than 50 degrees is also unscalable for a Dalek
due to their weight. A called shot to the eye stalk
bypasses damage reduction and causes a Dalek to
go blind and randomly spin around, firing in all
directions until it explodes three turns later. The
self-destruct will occur any time a Dalek is blinded
by anything, including covering it with a solid
object. Destroying a Dalek by cracking open its
armor only stops the machine, and the Kaled inside
escapes two turns later unless destroyed. Tipping
over a Dalek results in its deactivation, but requires
a DC 30 strength check or a DC 15 strength check
to get behind it and push it off a cliff. A fall of
between 15 and 100 feet, however, cracks open
the armor but fails to kill the Kaled. Daleks do
not suffer from exposure to the elements nor from
most elemental attacks. They take half damage
from electricity and full damage from both positive
and negative energy, as well as psionics, Vortex
energy and Hellfire.
Magic immunity: All Daleks are immune to
spells that affect the Kaled unless that spell does
not require a touch or ranged touch to work.
Otherwise, use their elemental immunities to
decide.
Early Daleks
In the earliest times of Dalek construction, they
required vast amounts of power that could not be
entirely included within them. They also relied
heavily on humanoid slaves and devices to help
them.

Combat
Early Daleks are the only kind that are forced
to use humanoids for attack purposes as well as
everything
else. Because of their limited mobility, they require
extensive preparation before they can make
appearances themselves. Once there, however,
they fight like all Daleks. Kill everything.
Limited mobility: Daleks need to rest on a metal
track leading to their power source at all times. If
they move off the track, or it is cut off from their
power source, they are rendered inert.
Middle Daleks
Perfecting an internal power source was the first
step to a more effective fighting force. Now free
to move about outside of the conquered territory,
Daleks rely more on their own personal abilities
and less on devices and slaves. They still enslave
as a matter of course, as no Dalek would ever
labor. They have also gained basic truth telling
abilities and the power to gauge how intelligent a
humanoid is by probing them.
In the latter half of the Middle Dalek era, Daleks
gained basic time travel. They could only open up
corridors in the Labyrinth, but it was a start.
Combat
Middle Daleks have not lost their abilities with
subterfuge, and when planning an advance
operation, usually prefer to work through
humanoid intermediaries until an area is secure.
Then they come in numbers.
Special Weapons Daleks
For a brief interval, it seemed necessary to have
a siege engine model. While their arm cannons
usually did the job, the Daleks had gotten tired
of humanoids escaping behind sturdy doors and
walls. So, they developed the special weapons
Dalek. It’s entire function was to join a company of
Daleks and demolish anything that was too tough
for their normal weapons.
Combat
Special Weapons Daleks only show up in cases
where it seems likely that demolition will be
necessary. They are rarely used directly in combat,
due to their cumbersome maneuverability. They
are dangerous, however, if one tries to take cover,
as both the cover and the combatant behind it are
likely to go together when the Dalek fires.
Slow Turn: A Special Weapons Dalek is even
slower than a regular Dalek. It takes a full round
action to reorient itself in combat.
Late Daleks
By this point in their history, Daleks had found
something they despised more than humanoids
who hid behind walls. Humanoids who ran up
stairs in buildings that were too valuable to simply
obliterate. By this point, as well, they found that
humanoids who were free of mind had a tendency
to be lazy and disloyal, so they stopped the
widespread enslavement of humanoids and kept
a few mind-controlled for covert missions. The
rest were liquidated. They also dealt with stair-
climbing humanoids by developing a slow flight
that let them follow, albeit not as quickly.
Combat
Late Daleks are little different from their earlier
selves in fighting form. They tend towards
overwhelming force even more than the others, but
not by much.
Magic immunity: Late Daleks have become less
susceptible to mind control and are immune to all
forms of Dominate
Modern Daleks
Modern Daleks have improved themselves in
several more key ways. First, they can now travel
through the Vortex with decent accuracy in their
ships. They also have personal Vortex transit, but
that often results in heavy damage and a Genius
Loci Dalek. They have also developed shielding
from missiles and a disintegration field. They
can still be harmed, but it is far more difficult.
Mundane ranged attacks have no effect at all, even
if the missile has significant enhancement, meaning
that their eyestalk especially is that much more
difficult to hit. The disintegration field means
that simply covering the eyestalk does not work
anymore. It must be destroyed.
Combat
Modern Daleks prefer to attack in large numbers,
and they almost never engage in covert operations
anymore.
Magic Immunity: Modern Daleks are immune to
missile-based spells.
Ranged immunity: Modern Daleks are not affected
by missile attacks of any kind, unless they do
Hellfire or Vortex damage.
Kaleds
The aberration inside of a Dalek is rarely seen. It
is usually killed by the destruction of the Dalek
itself, but on some occasions, it is merely forced
to leave the shell and attack on its own. Without
the life support systems of the Dalek, the Kaled
has a lifespan of only a day or two, but is quite
89
 dangerous even at the very end.
Combat
Kaleds have no teeth or claws, but a very strong
tentacle, which they attempt to use to throttle a
victim. On a successful leap attack, a Kaled will
latch on to a victim with a +10 to grapple and try to
asphyxiate him. A Kaled cannot make an unarmed
strike attack.
Davros
The last recognizably humanoid Kaled was also
the one who built the Dalek armor for them. At
the time, the Kaleds were still vaguely humanoid
and were mentally typical for the race. Davros
accelerated the mutation process and removed
all emotions he believed were weak. The result
was the murderous, hateful creatures the Kaleds
are now. The Dalek design was modeled after
his own wheelchair, which contained the life
support system necessary to keep him from dying
like his creations would outside of their own,
and provided him with some mobility. Though
an attempt was made at temporal intervention,
Davros was actually happy to learn what the
Daleks would eventually do. He was less happy
when they decided he was a liability and shot
him. After several hundred years, the Daleks went
looking for him to help him with a war they were
losing. They found him alive; his life support
systems had managed to regenerate him. From
then on, he was sometimes imprisoned by his
enemies, sometimes by his creations. At times, he
even managed to rule the Daleks.
Combat
Davros is not particularly dangerous in a direct
fight and does his best not to enter one. This does
not mean he cannot cause harm, just that it’s pretty
much over if someone gets within melee distance
of him, which rarely happens.
Mind control: Davros can, with enough time, cause
almost any organic being to become loyal to him.
This is the reason Modern Daleks developed an
immunity. They were tired of him taking over
their fleets.
Chain Lightning: Davros can cast Chain lightning as
the spell. There is a 1d4-1 round cool-down for this
ability.
Wizard spells: Davros is a brilliant mind, and it can
be assumed that if he is inhabiting a world with
magic, he would have learned a great deal in a
short time. Assume he can cast spells as a 20th level
wizard, and may have even managed to put an
epic spell up his leather sleeve.

PARADOXASAUR
This creature appears to be… gone.
Paradoxasaurs are difficult to explain. They are
a breed of dinosaur that was erased from time
during a changed calculated. By a strange twist of
temporal mechanics, however, a mating pair were
brought to the menagerie of Timehaven before the
change was initiated. The paradox of people being
able to look at and interact with a creature that
never existed was solved by the Paradoxasaur race
being given the defense mechanism of only existing
if no one in the vicinity believed in them. The
problem with this was obvious as soon as the first
person looked right at the dinosaur and realized
what it was. Paradoxasaurs are now prized as
a power source. The energy generated as they
oscillate between existence and oblivion at high
speed has meant a clean and inexhaustible power
supply for many timefaring civilizations. For the
few times in which it matters, the Paradoxasaur
can be treated as a type of Brontosaurus(though a
reddish-purple color), which ironically also doesn’t
exist. The skulls of both creatures are prized
greatly by members of Faction Paradox.

it darkens itself to hide from the traveler and
summons as many of its fellows as it can. When
they observe the traveler preparing to return to

their temporal piggyback ability to follow into
whatever plane the traveler was returning to. They
then proceed to show why they don’t get along

the timeline of the traveler, which is their favorite,
and move on to living things around them. This
escalates until they gain enough strength to call out
to Prime for others of their race, who help them to
consume the entire plane’s timeline. Though many
are infinite in breadth, there are very few planes
with an infinite timeline and so the Chronovores
are very dangerous if let loose. Luckily, they are
also very weak physically, and a determined group
of adventurers can usually stem the flow and deal
with the problem.
Combat
Chronovores are very much aware of their own

seems too strong until they can swarm in numbers.

Summon Chronovore: Once per day, a chronovore
can attempt to summon another chronovore of the

monster spell, but with only a 25% chance of
success. Roll d%: On a failure, no creature answers
the summons that day. A chronovore that has
just been summoned cannot use its own summon
ability for 1 hour. This ability is the equivalent of a
2nd-level spell.
Devour timeline: On a successful hit with a
Chronovore’s claw, the target must make a Will

are fighting) to avoid having their timeline eaten,
effectively incurring them.

Immunity to time: Time-based spells and effects
do not affect chronovores. They are, however,
affected by Vortex damage.

Chronovoids cannot exist in reality, but are one of
the greatest hazards in Temporal Prime. They are
a common occurrence and are strongly attracted to
linear creatures. A chronovoid appears as a blob of
gelatinous matter that holds a roughly ovoid shape.
The surface of the chronovoid is an iridescent
film, not unlike a drop of oil on the surface of
water. Its internals are a dull gelatin. The size of
this creature varies as it is a communal organism
that can separate into smaller forms. Its largest
formation is a huge creature, which can divide into
three large creatures. Each of these may divide in
half twice more to form six medium and twelve
small creatures respectively. Any combination of
these is possible. A chronovoid usually travels
as three large creatures to facilitate division or
reformation. Chronovoids are usually found
traveling along the smaller timelines, surrounding
them. They ignore all natural denizens of Prime
including the tempsynth. They only attack linear
93
 creatures. They possess the treasure of those
they’ve absorbed so far inside of them. Unlike
most ooze’s, chronovoids are somewhat intelligent,
but lack many of the common ooze traits. They are
in fact more like a cross between a giant bacterium
and an actual ooze.
Combat
Chronovoids will always attempt to envelop and
then dissolve an opponent. If a magic wielder
is encountered, attacks are focused in them
and anyone with a magical weapon. To ensure
survival, a small-sized section is often kept out of
the battle.
Absorb: On a successful slam, the chronovoid will
attempt to grapple the opponent. If successful and
the chronovoid is at least one size category larger,
the chronovoid will absorb the opponent. Damage
per turn then increases to 3d6 and the opponent
may only damage on a critical hit.
Divide: A full round action allows a chronovoid
that has not reached its limit to divide
Reform: A full round action allows two or more
chronovoid sections to reform into a larger one
Magic vulnerability/weapon immunity: Because
of their nature, most weapons pass through
chronovoids without doing any damage.
Nonmagical weapons cannot harm a chronovoid
at all. However, for every +1 of magical bonus
or three spell levels, a chronovoid takes another
50% of damage from it. Thus a +1 sword or a spell
of levels 1-3 will do 50% damage. A +2 or a 4-6
will do 100% and a +3 or 7-9 will do 150%. Once
attacked by a magical weapon, a chronovoid will
focus all of its attacks on the wielder.
Limited catastrophic regeneration: A chronovoid
section that is destroyed explodes into thousands
of droplets that cling to the nearest timeline. Any
section of the chronovoid, even the small-sized
ones, that remains intact and ambulatory can
rebuild the entire chronovoid from the droplets.
There is a +1000 XP bonus for destroying the entire
chronovoid.

Out of the darkness of the Void swims a huge stingray.
It seems uninterested in you, and in the other creatures
around it, passing out of sight in a burst of speed.
Gliders are large, kitelike creatures that drift along
in the Void or close to the surface of a timestream.
They never travel to reality, though there is
speculation that nothing besides preference stops
them. Each looks like a black manta ray without
a tail, whose wings flex slightly, though for no
apparent reason. They have never been seen to
willingly stop, nor eat. They take no interest in
their surroundings, simply flying around. They
can pass through the Void without being slowed or
damaged.
A Glider is large enough to carry one passenger,
but to do so, the person must first provoke an
attack, then make a reflex save(DC 20) to get
on the Glider’s back. If they do only nonlethal
damage from then on, they can continually control
the creature, forcing it to go in the direction they
choose. They take the same amount of damage
from passing through the Void if they choose to,
and the Gliders do not know which part of Prime
is which plane. They will not pass out of Prime
unless forced to.
Combat
Gliders only attack when provoked, and will often
retreat rather than react. When they do attack, they
will simply keep slamming the opponent until they
are no longer threatened.

This blue-black colossal spider is almost invisible in the
Void, visible only when you’ve already gotten caught in
the black strands of its web.
Void spiders are another race that started
in normal reality and migrated into the
transtemporal, and in very similar circumstances
to those of the Temporal Dog. The original Void
Spiders were Phase Spiders that used their power
to escape a traveler, who was attempting to throw
them into the Vortex as they dematerialized. The
Ethereal Plane, however, was not far enough to
run, and the Phase Spiders were trapped in the
Vortex. However, they found that because the
gate had opened in the material, and they were
immaterial, they were unaffected by the energies
of the Vortex. This also had the effect of making
it impossible for them to leave the transtemporal
domain. Instead, they found themselves hurled
into Temporal Prime, where they made their
homes in the Void. The rules of the transtemporal
domain turned out in their favor. Their status
made them immune to the inherently damaging
aspects of the Void and Vortex, while leaving them
material enough to hunt the denizens of Prime and
of the Vortex. Though they usually spin their webs
in the Void, hoping for a Glider or errant Dog, they
have also been known to put their web across parts
of the Vortex. Though a TARDIS would simply
pass through this barrier, a Temporal Warlock or
Mage relying on their damage reduction would
not.
Combat
Void Spiders’ webs are invisible unless Detect
Temporal Anomaly is cast. Void Spiders rarely
attack unless their subject is already in their web,
which demands a Reflex Save(DC 22) to avoid and
a Strength check(DC 30) to escape.
Once in combat, the Void Spider will bite and
poison until the opponent is weak. They prefer
their opponents to be alive in order to assure the
warmth of their blood.

The sands of time have come alive swirl in a chaotic,
vaguely humanoid, shape. Eyes of deep, infinite black
stare out from the top of the creature. They hold little
intelligence, but a boundless wisdom. Claws of chaotic
energy spring from its fists.
Temporal Elementals are like but unlike their kin
on the other elemental planes. Weaker physically
than most others, they make up for their deficiency
by being far more agile, and possessing more
dangerous powers. A Temporal Elemental can go
anywhere that time exists, causing havoc in the
places where time is regulated by an intelligent
force. Wherever they pass, ordered time breaks
down and anything can happen in any order.
Effects must still have cause, but not necessarily in
order.
Combat
Temporal Elementals strike with the fury of the
Vortex, time itself and the Void. They are made
up of the sands which make time, the Void which
delineates it and the Vortex which permeates.

GALLIFREYANS AS CHARACTERS
Gallifreyans are usually wizards or chronomancers,
with a very few warlocks. Though monks have
been known, they are few, and the renegade Time
Lords have been known to take all sorts of classes.
Gallifreyan characters possess the following racial
traits.
— -2 Strength, -2 Constitution, +4 intelligence
—Medium size.
—A Gallifreyan’s base land speed is 30 feet.
—Charm person as a spell-like ability, regeneration

levels of Gallifreyan, which provide 2d4 Hit Dice,
a base attack bonus of +0, and base saving throw
bonuses of Fort +0, Ref +2, and Will +2.
—Racial Skills: A Gallifreyan’s Gallifreyan levels
give it skill points equal to 5 × (2 + Int modifier,
minimum 1). Its class skills are Knowledge(All,
including psionics and temporal science),

Becoming a Time Lord

A Gallifreyan usually is or is not a Time Lord.
They are sent to the academy at a young age, and
stay there until they have either passed their exams
or proved they cannot. Training for anyone other
than a young Gallifreyan is unheard of.
A Time Lord gains the following:
+2 to Intelligence
+4 to Will
+10 to all Knowledge skills, +2 to Concentration,
+2 to Escape Artist, +2 to Profession, +4 to Sleight
of Hand and +2 to Craft

A Time Lord with a TARDIS gains the ability to

speak and read all languages.
